Chapter 1
Introduction 1
As part of the required safety equipment, use the SAILOR 7222 VHF DSC in an
emergency situation. However the best way to guarantee functionality in an
emergency situation, is to use the radio in daily communication on board.
The VHF radio is a simplex/semi duplex VHF radio consisting of two units connected
with a standard Ethernet cable:
• SAILOR 7224 Control Unit
• SAILOR 7226 VHF Transceiver Unit
It is designed with an easy-to-use menu-driven setup. You use the touch screen on the
SAILOR 7224 Control Unit or a connected device with a browser to enter the desired
functions. You can also select channels using the rightmost selection knob. The large
display can be customized for optimum readability and visibility both day and night
with different color themes.
The VHF radio can replay 240 seconds of received voice messages. This is a useful
feature to minimize misunderstandings and to record messages when the radio is
unattended.
With SAILOR connection boxes the VHF radio connects easily to external equipment
like a BAM system, additional handsets, water proof hand microphones, control
speaker microphone, alarm panel or external speaker. The Ethernet interface
connects the Control Unit with the Transceiver Unit, and enables the VHF radio to be
connected to other units in a local network. Instead of the touch screen on the Control
Unit, you can also connect a PC or other device with a browser for setup and control
via the web interface.
For a list of accessories available for the VHF radio see Accessories available on
page 1-3 and check with your nearest distributor.

Installing the VHF radio
After unpacking the system, inspect it thoroughly for hidden damage and loose
components or fittings. If the contents are incomplete, if there is mechanical damage
or defect, or if the system does not work properly, notify your dealer.
Cable requirements
All cables attached to the SAILOR 7222 VHF DSC must be shielded. Every shield should
have a low impedance connection to an electrical ground.
Before using the SAILOR 7222 VHF DSC for the first time, check that all cables are
correctly wired and fastened.
For details on the individual cable requirements, see Cable requirements on page C-16.

Important The scaling in the above drawing is not 1:1. Consequently do not
attempt to use a print or copy of this page without checking the
dimensions.
1. Find a suitable location for the Control Unit. Check that the space is deep enough to
accommodate the Control Unit and an additional min. 120 mm space for cable
entry.
2. Keep free distance to allow free air circulation around the Control Unit and to allow
sufficient space for access to cables, see the drawing on this page.
3. Cut out the hole for the Control Unit where you want to mount it. Use the cutting
template in the installation guide.
4. Mount the 4 square nuts M4 in the cabinet, ensure that they are placed correctly so
it is possible to screw in the M4x45 screws.
5. Ensure that the flush mount gasket is placed correctly on the Control Unit.
6. Before mounting the Control Unit be aware that the surface is plane and rigid. If the
surface is not plane and/or rigid (stiff) remove the gasket and seal with silicone
sealant between the Control Unit and the surface.
7. Slide the Control Unit in the cut-out. Place the flush mount bracket and fasten it
with the 4 screws M4x45. Make sure the torque does not exceed 1Nm when
fastening the screws.
Note Only use screws supplied with the kit for flush mounting.
.
Note Firmly tie back and secure any wires not used to avoid the possibility for
mutual shorting or shorting to ground.

Note The Ethernet cable between Transceiver Unit and Control Unit must be no
longer than 100 m.
Keep free distance to allow free air circulation around the Transceiver Unit and to
allow sufficient space for access to cables.
2. Place the Transceiver Unit as close as possible to ship ground.
3. Before mounting the Transceiver Unit be aware that the surface is plane and rigid.
4. Mount the 4 screws in the cabinet, ensure that they are placed correctly according
to the dimensions in Figure 2-8.

CAUTION! Make sure the power supply is off before connecting the
power cable! The Control Unit is always on when connected
to power.
The ground stud is located on the rear panel and is used to connect a ground wire for
grounding the SAILOR 7224 Control Unit. To connect the Control Unit to ship ground,
do as follows:
1. Connect a ground cable of < 1 m length and > 4 mm2 cross section to the Ground
cable shoe located next to the PWR connector.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to ship ground. Make the cable as short as
possible.

Entering the MMSI number
Important The MMSI number must be programmed into the VHF radio to use any
DSC functionality. The radio will prompt for the MMSI number at each
power-up until the MMSI has been entered. You can use the radio in
normal VHF mode.
Once programmed, the MMSI number is displayed in the DSC window directly after
start-up. The DSC functionality is operational at any time.
The message NO DSC (NO MMSI) is shown in the DSC window if the MMSI is not
programmed.
3.3.1 TX inhibit
When the low power auxiliary input (above) is activated, the VHF radio is automatically
Tx inhibited, i.e. it is not able to transmit but only receive.

ATIS CODE 10 digit numerical (Default: not set, password protected if set).
The ATIS code is used for identification to marine coast and
inland stations and its use is mandatory in a number of European
inland waterways. The ATIS number is issued by the relevant
authority.
For ships coming from states which are not member of the
Regional Arrangement, the ATIS-Code is based on the MMSI with
a 9 as the first digit.a

5.5 Maintenance
If the original shipping carton is not available, the following general instructions
should be used for repacking with commercially available material.
1. Wrap the defective unit in heavy paper or plastic. Attach a tag indicating the type of
service required, return address, part number and full serial number.
2. Use a strong shipping container, e.g. a double walled carton.
3. Protect the front- and rear panel with cardboard and insert a layer of shock-
absorbing material between all surfaces of the equipment and the sides of the
container.
4. Seal the shipping container securely.
5. Mark the shipping container FRAGILE to ensure careful handling.
Failure to do so may invalidate the warranty.

The CAN bus cable must be of a paired and twisted type designed for the purpose. The
CAN bus cable can handle signals up to 100 m away from the VHF radio to further
Control Speaker Microphones (CSM).
Only 1 CSM can be connected to the VHF radio with a CAN bus cable of max 100 m if the
cable dimension is 0.5mm2 of each cord. Other combinations with more CSMs must be
calculated seriously before installing the cable. If more CSMs are connected, the CAN
cable of 0.5mm2 can handle the signals up to max. 100 m. The only restriction is the
power supply for the connected CSMs.
The voltage drop along the cable increases with the length of the cable. Separate
supply cables can be installed in parallel with the CAN cable to reduce voltage drop in
long cables. The maximum allowed voltage drop from VHF to CSM is 2 VDC. It means
1 VDC forward and 1 VDC return.
Max current consumption for each CSM is 0.5A.
